PART FOR WIGS AND THE LIKE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented. Oct. 29,1912.

Application filed March 6, 1912. Serial No. 681,930.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MENDEL R. RoNsH- KOWSKY, a subject of the Czar ofRussia, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, inthe county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Partfor Wigs and the Like, of which the following is a full, clear, andexact description.

This invention relates to improvements in parts for wigs and the like,and has foran object to provide an improved weave which will notdisclose the supporting canvas or backing at any point, but will onlyshow a groove or part in the hair.

A further object of the invention is to provide a part formed with thehair woven back and forth through a plurality of cords or threads sothat the short ends of all the hairs will be near the threads, and thatall of the threads will be invisible so that a natural dividing of thehair will appear.

A still further object of the invention is to weave hair in the part andassociate there with a spacing thread for locking the bunches of thehair against a longitudinal movement, and for forming an artificialparting line.

In carrying out the objects of the invention, a plurality of cords orthreads are arranged parallel and hair is woven back and forththerethrough and folded back upon itself in such a manner as to causeall of the threads to be hidden and the hair extending in oppositedirections to indicate a natural parting of natural hair. If desired, inorder to show a line at the parting, threads may be woven in with thehair which will not only act as a line, but will act as a locking meansfor holding the respective bunches of hair in their proper position.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in theaccompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in whichsimilar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all theviews.

Figure 1 is a fragmentary top plan view of a part embodying theinvention, a portion thereof being shown loose for the purpose ofillustration; Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of part of the structureshown in Fig l; and Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1, but showing athread or cord interwoven with the hair for clearly indicating the lineof part.

Referring to the accompanying drawings by numerals, 1, 2, 3, and 4indicate the base cord or threads on which the hair 5 is woven.

interwoven with the threads 1, 2, 3, and 4E, and

extending in opposite directions from the threads. As clearly shown inFig. 1, the bunches 6 of hair are passed over the threads 3 and 4:, thenunder the threads 2 and then over the threads 1. The short ends of thebunches 6 are then passed beneath the thread 1, over thread2, underthread 3, and then over thread 4. The bunches 7 are woven in exactly thesame manner except that the same extend in opposite directions. Thesebunches of hair 6 and 7 are woven in this manner over the threads andthen pushed up tight, as shown at one end of Fig. 1. By weaving thebunches in this manner it will be observed that the hair crosses betweenthreads 2 and 3 for forming a line of parting 8 without disclosing thethreads. From Fig. 2 it will be seen that the weaving of the hairforms acomparatively compact woven portlonv 9.

In Fig. 3 the bunches 6 and 7 are separated by a thread or cord 10 whichis interwoven with the bunches of hair and threads 2 and 3, and it willbe observed that the cord or thread 10 is connected with, for instance,thread 2 and is passed over the adjacent bunches of hair 6 and thengiven a loop around the thread 8. From this loop the thread 10 extendsover the bunch of hair 7, is given a loop around the thread 2, and so onfor the full length of the part. By weaving the thread 10 in this mannerthe bunches of hair 6 and 7 are bound or locked between the respectiveloops 11 and 12 so that no longitudinal movement can be had. In thearrangement shown in Fig. 8 some of the bunches 6 and 7 have beendisclosed separated simply for the purpose of illustration, but inweaving the device each bunch of hair 6 and 7 will be pressed up tightlyagainst the portion 5 and then the thread or cord 10 looped thereover sothat the distance between the loops 11 and 12 will be as short aspossible in order to prevent longitudinal movement of the respectivebunches of hair. By constructing the part in this manner a line ofthread may be provided for more nearly imitating the appearance of thepart in natural hair, and also the bunches of hair will be separatedsomewhat so that a less amount of hair will be required and yet theusual appearance is presented.

Having thus described my invention, I

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. In a part for wigs and the like, a plurality of base threads, and aplurality of bunches of hair woven between said threads and extending inopposite directions, each of said bunches of" hair extending to acentral point over said threads before being interwoven, whereby a clearline of parting is presented without disclosing any of said threads toview.

2. In a part for wigs, four parallel threads, a bunch of hair woventherethrough by having the weaving extend over two of the threads, underthe next one, and around the last one and back over the third thread andunder the second thread and from thence over the first thread wherebythe bunch of hair extends to one side of said threads, and a secondbunch of hair interwoven in a similar manner to the first mentionedbunch of hair but extending in an opposite direction and on the oppositeside of said threads.

3. In a part for wigs, a body portion formed of bunches of hair, and aplurality of threads for holding said hair in position, each alternatebunch of hair being interwoven with said threads and extending uponopposite sides of the threads, and a separating thread looped over thesame face of each bunch of hair for locking the same in position and forindicating distinctly the line of parting.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
